Peddling half truths & connecting Islam to something that is widely controversial within itself: being an ignorant Islamophobe is very easy. FMG predates Islam, is a predominantly cultural practice (MC in tribals of Africa/ME). Baha'I & Bohra communities are associated with it... https://twitter.com/jkd18/status/1353241597324845056
Let me dismantle your lies (which you spew either out of hate or willful ignorance). Women aren't prohibited from mosques in Islam: modern day mosques have a section for women too. And tbh (from what I've found out), Muslim women are neither dying for validation from Muslim...
...men nor are they desperate enough to be satisfied with just being a part of something: they have created their own spaces!
"...orgasm is Haraam…" is a blatant lie! Orgasm isn't "Haraam"! Islamophobes everywhere recycle the same talking points! How ppl conjure up fiction...
...out of thin air & present it as facts is beyond me! On cue, when their lies are called out, they bring up something stupid that someone stupid said & think it's their "gotcha" moment! I don't like comparing one religion/ideology with another... https://www.google.com/amp/s/aeon.co/amp/essays/islam-has-a-long-tradition-of-explicit-sexual-discussion
...But, I feel compelled to: to make ignoramuses aware of their hypocrisy! All I'll say is, for all the whining that Islamophobes do; there are very similar proclamations that can be found in other religions/ideologies too. If you love deriding religion as a practice, include...
...ALL the "problems" from ALL the religions. Don't mask your Islamophobia/hate for Muslims as a crusade for "women empowerment". If it was truly all about the women, every religion (Islam/Christianity & most of all Hinduism); would be BIG "problem". In the Indian context,...
...as Hinduism originated here; I could make innumerable arguments on everything that's a very regressive "problem". But I don't (in fact, I don't do it for ANY religion) because I know that ppl (women/men) practicing it can speak for themselves. Religions came into existence...
...long before the 21st century. So, the best that ppl from 21st century can do, is make a conscious PERSONAL choice to leave the regressive parts behind. That doesn't include FORCING someone to do it just cuz you think it's a good idea! Unless a practice causes physical harm/...
...violence/affects something other than "feelings", awareness/education is the way to go. To each their own. TT abolished/not is irrelevant; if 2 ppl set their mind to divorce: it happens. Hindutva/Hindu Rashtra agenda govt claiming they've removed TT for "women empowerment"...
...they did it to incite outrage from conservative Muslims of India (a part of any majoritarian agenda is making it harder for minorities/imposing/appropriating them): TT abolishment is useless in practical terms! It's too irrelevant to do ANYTHING for female empowerment!...
...Religious conservatism is not a qualifier for who is a problem/not. 
Going by this logic, all religious ppl; clerics/priests/pandits & everyone else immediately becomes "the problem". Any religion is by definition regressive. An ideology is as good as the ppl practicing it...
...If you ask women oppressed by "Sanskar" & patriarchy, they'll tell you religion is hell. If you ask modern women who feel free to make their own choices, they'll probably tell you religion is "spiritual". The point is, one person's lived experience cannot be projected as...
...reality on someone who doesn't share a similar experience. Perception of what someone thinks something is, doesn't become a fact. Ppl doing pointless activism on behalf of Muslim women whilst infantilizing them exactly the same way they accuse Muslim patriarchy of doing so:...
...I'm sure they can speak for themselves. Not only Muslim; Christian/Hindu/any other women can speak for themselves. Don't use Muslim women as props to hide behind your Islamophobia/Muslim hate. If it's really about women, start with Hinduism (as it's an Indian religion)...
